2A Daily News – Saturday, November 26, 2011 Community people&events Outsmarting common diet pitfalls (MCT) — Diets stink, and losing weight is hard work. End of story. Or maybe it's just the beginning. Your new healthy eating habits can start here. Today. To aid all of us who struggle with weight, I'm fanat- ically on the hunt for not-too-painful tips from those who have lost pounds and, most important, keep them off. Which is why I asked Judy Weitzman for her good ideas. She lost 50 pounds and has not gained it back over the past 30 years. She knows it's not easy. That's why she wrote the book, "How to Eat When Life Gets in the Way." She shares healthy eating strategies for various eth- nic restaurants, parties, buffets, salad bars, at work, fast food, picnics and other eating (and drinking) obstacles reality throws at us. Foremost, says Weitzman, "You can't look at it like it's a diet. You have to look at changing behaviors. ... If you change your behaviors you're going to lose weight." Some examples: Salads: This weight-loss staple can actually be death to healthy eating. Dressing is a calorie hand grenade. Don't slather; instead dip your fork in and then spear your salad. Add these with great caution: nuts, cheese, dried fruit, creamy anything, bacon, crou- tons. Giant restaurant portions: Ask immediately for a container and save lots for later. Buffets: Danger zone. Choose only four things, two of them vegetables. Visit only once. Three o'clock slump: Protein snacks instead of chips or candy. Bring a "deviled egg" with 1 table- spoon of hummus instead of the egg yolk (52 calo- ries). Your must-haves: Take a small portion (potato chips, peanut butter) then put the rest far away for later. Desserts: Two bites only. OK, maybe three. Any time: Think you're hungry? Try drinking water, brushing your teeth, turning out the kitchen light and declaring it "closed."

Thanksgiving — the time to say thank you Thanksgiving Day has come and gone leaving many reasons to be thankful. After the hustle and bustle of preparing luscious foods to eat and lots of people to greet, we often think of the many others we have known over the years. There are those who first declared a day of Thanksgiving. Mrs. Sara Josehpa Hale, editor of Godey's Lady's Book, won the title of "Mother of Thanksgiving" for her efforts to make it an annu- al holiday. She wrote letters to each of the presidents for 20 years and sent pleas in her maga- zine in an effort to have an annu- al Thanksgiving Day proclaimed. Finally, President Lincoln appointed the last Thursday of November as the official day for giving thanks. In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed the second from the last Thursday in Novem- ber as Thanksgiving Day. It is too bad that we sometimes wait a whole year to say thank you for the various acts of kind- ness, thoughtfulness and actions of those whose paths cross ours. I remember when teaching children at preschool, we teachers always asked them to tell us what they were thankful for. We listed the responses in a small booklet for them to give to their parents. It was this activity that gave the pat- tern for this column. …And a lit- tle child shall lead them… Thank you, thank you, and thank you to: Downtown D NEWSAILY HOW TO REACH US RED BLUFF TEHAMACOUNTY THE VOICE OF TEHAMA COUNTY SINCE 1885 VOLUME 127, NUMBER 5 On the Web: www.redbluffdailynews.com MAIN OFFICE: Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Main Phone (530) 527-2151 Outside area 800-479-6397 545 Diamond Ave. Red Bluff, CA 96080 ______________________ Fax: (530) 527-5774 ______________________ Mail: Red Bluff Daily News P.O.

May each of us have a 2011- 2012 years proclamation : Eat a little left over turkey, pie and dressing, check to see if the base- ball games are ongoing on the T.V., and continue to do the two most important things…love a lot and be continuously thankful.
